Free Wheelchair Mission is an international nonprofit dedicated to providing wheelchairs for the impoverished disabled in developing nations. It takes less than $60 to provide someone in need with a means of mobility.

That snowman cake is actually pretty well done, other than the fact that it looks like he's shooting out a stream of snowman s--poo. The first one looks like Santa on the morning of December 25, after stumbling out of the sleigh (maybe someone left him some peppermint schnapps instead of milk?)

wv: comine--Wreckerators and cakes comine to make some funny and confounding and downright scary stuff.

OH. MY. GOSH. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I saw that cake wreck of Santa facedown but I couldn't take a picture because my mom didn't have her cell phone with her! (I'm a kid, okay? I don't HAVE a cell phone. even though I'm ten):`( That's supposed to be tear.

I have been waiting ages for your post today(being a brand-newbie this week, I have read all the back-posts and been awaiting the new one eagerly!AND its 3pm here in England!)Absolutely brilliant Blog!Have a wonderful Christmas everyone.

Santa in a sleigh makes sense. Santa doing WHAT to a dog?! ugh. So, so wrong.

Hunting trophy at this time of year? Come on, that's horrible. At least they had the decency to NOT include a red nose along with the antlers!

May all who are celebrating Christmas have a very merry and meaningful holiday. To those of us who are of other faiths (or no faith at all), may you have a lovely day!

PS Is it just me, or would the perfect "Christmas" cake for a Jewish household be cupcakes or two-bite cakes shaped to look like dim sum? With a movie-themed chaser? (My WV is "oveit"... as in a modified "oy vey"!)

Any body else see a mutant snowman/slug creature on Cake #3? Or is it just me? And who is the scrooge that stuck out their foot to trip Santa in the first cake? What did Santa do to deserve being tripped? Come to think of it, what did he do to deserve having his head stuck on the butt of an icing dog...?

Marry Christmas and Happy Holldays John, Jen, the CW team, and fellow Wreckies! Thanks for all the laughs!

Nooooooooooooooooooo they killed Santa and Frosty has the runs!! Lol they need to be stopped immediately. That or they really need to not get paid for these things. Wreckerator managers really must be stopped..someday.

@Classic Steve, was that a 'Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' reference in your take on the snowman in a tornado? Way to go!

#1 Yes, I'd like the 'SANTA SIN SINGLE LAYER CHOCOLATE ROUND CAKE CUPCAKE COM', and I'd like it as far in advance of Christmas as possible, please.

#3 Looks like what might have been in store for viewers if 'Dune' had been produced by Rankin/Bass. "Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the snowworm."

#4 Next, I'd like the 1/4 MESSAGE COOKIE. Quarter message? I don't see any message.

#5 'Season's Greatings' from all of us at Three Penguins on a Chamois! Must be some kind of polar-themed car wash, which makes perfect sense as long as you don't think about it. (Don't point out their duck feet -- they're sensitive about that.)

#6 Without the 'woof woof', it does look like Santa in bed. With the sound effects, it looks like Santa in bed saying 'woof woof'. Forgetting that concept is my first resolution for 2011. Never mind -- I'll start now. [*headdesk*]

#7 Again with the bulbs. "D'ye know how long I had to stalk that deer, waitin' for them antlers to fall off? It weren't easy, I'll tell ye."

The snowman cake has pointed out to me how much less charming Frosty would be if instead of walking on legs, he dragged his big round body around the streets of town like any other snowman might do. And that would explain the reason Christmas now seems to kick off right at Halloween.

Just donated to the 12th charity! Can't say I left much at each since I'm not working right now, but I love that you do this. It made me happy to be a part of a meaningful donation to each place when I couldn't give enough to any one by myself. Thank you so much for doing this!!!!!

I'm catching up after the holiday rush... Awesome, you gave a shout out to Free Wheelchair Mission! I'm attempting to run 1000 miles in 2011 this year as a fundraiser for them.

Of course, being a giant Pratchett geek, I 'm tying it in to Discworld and pointing out that it's the distance between Ankh-Morpork and Lancre. My name is linked to what is quite possibly the first footnote-laden charity pledge page to make a reference to the Sam Vimes "Boots" Theory of Economic Injustice in history.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
